    Oh yeah. My size 10 jeans look so tiny compared to where I am now. I thought I was so fat. :s

    Oh my goodness, yes. 114 pounds soaking wet at one point. I thought I was fat then, I thought I was fat at 130, I know I'm fat now but I like myself better. Weird.

    I've decided to love myself, my food and drink and work out. If the two balance... Great. If they don't, well I'll check out the calories then!
    Meantime life is more than calories but fitness pal keeps them in mind! Lol

    <--- in this pic I thought my abs were ill-defined and my legs were chubby and fat. Now I'm 21 weeks pregnant, and while I'm still fit, I'd love to have my old legs back! It just goes to show you'll always think you can do better, no matter how far you've come. It can make you crazy, if you're not careful. ;)

    Oh yes. When I was younger my cousin would always tell me how skinny I was but I always thought I was fat. I would do anything to be that small again!

    lol i enjoyed reading everyones responses. when i was size 11 i thought i was huge and wanted to loose forty lbs at the time & now five years later i look at pictures thinking i was crazy . i was the perfect size but now im a size 15/16 which doesnt sound that much bigger but it really has slowed me down.

    This "fresh" thought gives me insight into the kids who post here wanting to get super skinny.
    I'm 5'6" 135Lbs.
    In high school I was 5'6" and naturally less than 100 LBS . I thought I was "an amazon", "stocky", "thick"....
    That was my perspective as s skinny high school girl. Skinny and athletic, I thought I was "thick".

    The funny thing was, I was a slim size 8. I'm STILL a size 8.

    I still look at pictures of myself now, 70 pounds lighter and think of myself as fat. So yeah :)

    I thought I was fat when I started high school, and that's what started me on 20+ years of yo-yo dieting. In hindsight, I looked fantastic, but had developed earlier than all my friends, so was comparing myself to them.

    Yes! Now my "old" pictures are my motivation.
